I don't see anything wrong with a cell phone. That's great. You have a flat tire in the middle of the night it works better than digging in your pocket for a quarter and looking for a payphone eight miles down the road.

More quotes by Billy Bob Thornton
I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.
Billy Bob Thornton
They were on the set of Bad Santa, but I tried to keep the headphones away from them. My kids have seen Sling Blade, Armageddon, Bandits and Friday Night Lights. They have not seen Monster's Ball and nor will they ever. Even when they are 60. I will leave it in my will.
Billy Bob Thornton
On TV you can, you know you can cram, you know, 30 people into a closet and have an orgy, and then they can all shoot up, and everybody has cigarettes in their nostrils and their ears. They don't care. So yeah, television is amazing right now.
Billy Bob Thornton
The independent film business is pretty much gone. Now you can do it in a format where you actually get to develop a character over a period of time.

I've been married five times, and people think that's some bizarre thing, yet I've got buddies who refuse to get married and have sex with 15 people a week. I'm like Which is better? At least I was trying.

Billy Bob Thornton
My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.
Billy Bob Thornton
When people are bothering you constantly when you're trying to do just a simple thing that humans do every day but they won't let you do it without bugging you about it, that was a hard thing. Because I became a movie star overnight. From a working actor and working writer to a movie star.
Billy Bob Thornton
If you've written it you know exactly whoever you're playing if you've written it you already know it. As a matter of fact, you've already made the movie if you wrote it. You've made it in your head.
Billy Bob Thornton
My process started when I was born. The process is life experience. I believe that what makes you an artist, or at least an artist who can communicate the ideas that they want to get across, are people that have life experience.
Billy Bob Thornton
Movies now, you can watch a trailer for a movie on TV now and you're not sure if it's a video game or a movie. You have to wait till the end of it to see, oh, I see, those actors are in it, so that one's a movie. Oftentimes, it's based on a video game.
Billy Bob Thornton
You never know what an audience is going to think about something. The ones that the audience doesn't get, I tend to let them go. I don't like to dwell on them too much.
Billy Bob Thornton
I don't know how to type so I handwrite everything.

LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.
Billy Bob Thornton
I have been fortunate to get some really good scripts over the years and I haven't turned down anything that I regretted so far. And my manager who I've been with for over 25 years is very good at knowing what I should and shouldn't do a lot of times.
Billy Bob Thornton
Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.
Billy Bob Thornton
I'm not sure that I'm really relevant as a director anymore. Or as a writer, either, to tell you the truth.
Billy Bob Thornton
Nothing wrong with computer as things. They can work wonders in communications and business and medicine and everything else.
